Options If Your Price Is Increasing
If you discover that your internet costs are going up, there are several steps you can take:
- Contact Bell: You might consider calling customer service to negotiate a lower rate. However, results can vary widely; some customers may find success while others do not.
- Switch Providers: A more effective option could be switching providers altogether. Many companies focus on attracting new customers rather than retaining existing ones; therefore, switching could led to better deals.
This approach also sends a strong message that price increases are unacceptable.Bell's History of Price Increases
